The Beau Downtown San Diego Gaslamp Quar

No chair A/C very noisy

The Beau Hotel did not disappoint! We loved its historical charm and character. Their staff is kind, accommodating, friendly, and very helpful. Being in the downtown area was a little noisy at night on the weekend, but we did not have any issues sleeping…and it’s Downtown San Diego so our expectations were for it to be busy. There are homeless people in the area, but we never had any problems. The hotel is very clean, and got to know several of the staff by name. I would highly recommend staying there.

The parking sounded like a nightmare so we took public transit in and it was a short walk from the trolly station. Cool place!

Checking in was easy. Hotel close to everything its a beautiful hotel.

I really enjoyed the rustic look of this boutique hotel. I know many people wouldn’t like the old look, they compliment it with an extremely modern bathroom and conveniences. But the natural brick in the room as well as in the hallway along with natural wood – made it extremely appealing.

Great staff attention and amenities. The room was clean and comfortable, making it easy to sleep in.

Charming historic hotel located only 1 block from House of Blues. 20 min walk to waterfront/convention center.

Pros: amazing staff, so nice and quick, we never spoke to anyone who wasn’t friendly and helpful. It felt clean, it was in a good location directly downtown and close to public transit as well. But was usually walkable to anything we wanted to do.
Cons: the pillows were awfullll and it only has a window AC unit so we were usually very warm while trying to sleep. It was a very small room and we really wished it had a mini fridge. Because it had space for a small one in the room but we couldn’t put our drinks or leftovers anywhere so that sucked sometimes. Overall a cute place that was solid to lay your head down at night but very small and I think they should really invest in some big fluffy hotel pillows because comfort while sleeping can really make or break someone’s experience at a hotel. It was also priced well for the area. Warning to families though, there is an adult toy shop right next door that we didn’t know about lol. We didn’t care because we don’t have kids but I would be pretty upset about that if I was a parent having to give the talk a bit early if my kid saw those mannequins

Clean

Exceptional staff. Very helpful and gracious hosts. Would definitely stay here again.

Had an unplanned layover and this hotel was convenient and a great deal on Expedia. Reminds me a bit of a Club Quarters - just what you need (comfortable bed, good shower, nice bar/restaurant, great location) - nothing more.

Great place

Great staff, easy check in and good location

Awesome hotel for when you are in a pinch and need a place to stay in DT San Diego. Very clean and easy, no fuss and the restaurant downstairs is pretty good.

Wonderful and attentive staff! Restaurant is great! Beautiful setting and friendly staff.

They could use refrigerators in the room

Beautiful classic hotel. The coffee and water that is available for free 24 hours a day was priceless (is priceless free)?
Halle not only maintained an impeccable coffee room on the 2nd floor but she also checked us out. Even though I was all jacked up on free coffee I decided to use my $25 off voucher to enjoy an awesome Bloody Maria as they call them in the bar and a very authentic tasting Cuban sandwich. The Gaslamp district is very cool and this hotel adds to the coolness.

The Beau Hotel is a charming boutique stay located in the heart of San Diego’s vibrant Gaslamp District. The location is excellent—just steps from top restaurants, nightlife, and local attractions, making it a perfect base for exploring the city.

The hotel offers a stylish, intimate atmosphere with thoughtful amenities, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Cleanliness was good, with rooms and common areas well-maintained.

On the downside, the bed linens and pillows were average and didn’t quite match the otherwise inviting feel of the hotel. The most noticeable issue was the poor water pressure in the shower, which made for a less-than-ideal experience. Also worth noting: there’s no elevator, only stairs, which might be a challenge for some guests.

Despite a few drawbacks, The Beau Hotel delivers great value through its prime location, attentive staff, and boutique charm.

The hotel does not stand out, it is a small boutique hotel amongst other buildings. When you walk in, it is exactly like the photos on the website. The front desk persons were super friendly with fast checkin and checkout. We received a $25 food credit to the restaurant on site which had a cute ambiance and the food is good. The hotel itself does not have an escalator or elevator as its a historic building, but someone does bring your luggage up and down for you. There is a luggage call button on each floor, and i watched the man effortlessly come up to the 3rd floor to help with luggage. Each floor has a coffee/tea room which was great. There is an outdoor patio you can sit in. The room itself has a minimalist vibe with only the necessities, bed, 2 nightstands, tv on wall, desk under tv, and some wall painting decor. There is a rolling luggage rack with about 5 hangars as well. The bathroom was decent size as well, the only thing i wish they had was towel hooks to hang wet towels and even that isnt a huge problem. The area around had restaurants everywhere and Petco Park is only a 10 minute walk and the San Diego airport is about a 15 minute drive. I would definitely come back and stay here, it was wonderful.

The front lobby staff was great!!
